Haleiwa Joe's Haiku Gardens - Kaneohe

Got there around 4:45, were quoted over an hour and 15 minute wait but were seated probably within about 30 minutes. (The food also came out in a quick pace, but it was not rushed. • Seafood chowder was VERY tasty (especially the croutons which surprised me! . • Sizzling Mushroom appetizer was simple and delicious. • Prime rib was legit. Very fatty and flavorful, well balanced horseradish sauce. • Grilled fish was a fun flavor combination and cooked to a good consistency. Non alcoholic drink options were decent, I did a guava-rita, it should have been shaken so the whole thing was cold, but flavor was good. Service was excellent hostesses (and the manager I presume were polite and made good eye contact, the server was efficient and cleared all plates and they were done. We didn’t save room for dessert, but we will definitely be going back just for an appetizer and dessert next time.

I went to this restaurant for my birthday dinner and it was amazing. The food was very fresh and I especially enjoyed the mushrooms. The calamari was cooked perfectly, not chewy at all. I was happy to see that it was lightly breaded. The entree was presented beautifully and the wine selection was impressive. The service was excellent and the view from the restaurant was stunning. I will definitely be returning in the future.

This restaurant is fantastic! I was drawn in by the photos I saw and knew I had to visit while on vacation here. Although there was a bit of a wait, even for just 2 people, we were able to enjoy the garden and explore the nearby neighborhood. The restaurant has a cool 80s vibe that I absolutely loved - it felt like being in a movie. The food and service were both excellent. While it is a bit pricey, it is definitely worth it.

Amazing food, great service good price. Wow, definitely going here again! I hope they get french onion soup one day!

Only 4 stars because you have to get there 2 hours before they open to get in line if you want THE table. But as someone who waited in that line, it's worth every minute. They could have sold cereal, and it would have been worth it. Take turns in line while you're waiting and walk down to the gardens. But trust me on getting there early. The pictures don't do it justice.
